2 cups uncooked orzo rice with dried tomatoes
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup small tomatoes quartered
1 cup English cucumber, peeled and diced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup diced yellow bell pepper
1/2 cup green onions
1/2 cup frozen green peas, thawed
1/4 chopped black olives
2-2 tbsp minced fresh mint leaves
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
Dressing:
1/3 cup Italian dressing fat free
1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
Freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
NOW FOLLOW ME:
Cook orzo risotto in a skillet with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and once sauteed for 5 minutes, slowly add chicken stock and let simmer until orzo has thickened (about 10 – 15 minutes).
Drain orzo, let chill. Add all the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat salad. Cover with plastic and you can refrigerate overnight for that “extra” flavor.
Healthy Recipe makes 6 servings. Yummy!
